Welcome to my creative online journal

Today's project is different from what I originally put on yesterday because I changed it this morning (Friday) .

I was quite pleased because I had got myself a lovely distressed looking frame for 50p from my usual sources - I don't know whether it was meant to look distressed or was genuinely old, but I think it was the former, because there was quite a swanky looking label on the back, y'know the type you see in 'designer' home shops.

This was the frame..

...that came with this print in it.

Yesterday I made a project with some pink flowers in it, but I really didn't like the end result so I changed it to this:

I did my favourite technique of inking the edges and corners with Black Stazon and stamping with assorted flourish stamps:

Under there (on top of the pink background paper) I have also stuck a white doiley which I have rubbed with a black wax crayon to bring out the texture.

The heart and rubber stamped message I had done previously, using chalks. I just ripped around the edges.

It's a lovely sentiment and the whole thing looks perfect in the distressed frame. At a later date I may distress the frame even more.

All in all a much better result than the flowery picture I made yesterday! :-)

On Creative Flourishes you will find examples of my photography, mixed media artwork, cardmaking and general art & craft making. Hopefully I will inspire others (as others inspire me) to get creating too! I also include snippets of my family life with my husband and my two teen boys, aged 17 and 15.
